I love this technique as you can use it at the
beginning or in the middle of any song. It can only be used with an
electric guitar though. It won't work on an acoustic.

Here is how:

Step 1

Turn the volume control on
your electric guitar RIGHT DOWN.

Step 2

When it is unheard;
strike hard on any note (preferably one string & not an actual chord).

Step 3

While the string is
vibrating (silently), turn the volume control UP VERY SLOWLY. This will
allow the string to slowly fade in until the volume is turned up full.

Step 4Lastly; fade the volume control DOWN VERY SLOWLY. This will
allow the note to fade out into silence.

Do exactly the same thing to a different
string. What you are actually doing here is creating the sound of a smooth
violin.

This is an excellent technique if your bass
player is playing a note in G for example. You can use this technique and
fade in with a violin sound one octave higher in the same G note. If you
have an effects pedal, using a High Reverb tone along with a deep chorus
setting improved the sound even more.

One other technique is to actually pull the
string once the volume is turned up full. This tweaks the sound even more.
Enabling you to go slightly out of tune before pulling the string back in
tune again. It makes an unreal lick in one of your songs and especially if
you want to record in a studio, the sound will be heard in great
detail.
